Asset Dependency Chains: The Hidden Danger | Unreal Fest 2022

When you are dealing with assets, it’s easy for dependency chains to get out of hand. And sadly, you don't always notice them until they become a big problem. In this talk aimed at programmers and Blueprinters, Lucid Games’ Studio Technical Director Mark Craig shares tricks developed at the company for spotting, analyzing, and fixing such problems-so you don't make the same mistakes.
We’re excited to bring you sessions from Unreal Fest 2022, available to watch on demand: www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ev...

Great talk, and agree with the other commenters: When you show the presenter (which is fine), please show some view of the screen as well, because when he is commenting about what is on the screen and we don't see the screen, it's difficult to follow.

I feel like many people got some shivers listening to this and had an impulse to rush to their computers

Great speech! Thank you, mister Craig!

Great talk. This is why I tell new teams to build as much as they can rather than getting an asset/tool for every single thing. It gets to a point where everything becomes so difficult to manage.

Why is the presenter shown so much and not the slides ? We don’t need to see the presenter
